Rotherham United Manager Steve Evans has confirmed the two starting line-ups for the matches at Parkgate (2pm) and Tamworth (3pm) tomorrow afternoon, with Matt Derbyshire set to get his first outing in a Millers shirt.

The Gaffer confirmed that Febian Brandy, Robert Milsom and Frazer Richardson will miss out with three different, but specific injuries, and that a number of development and youth team players will make up the substitutes bench at both venues.

The management team is also due to be split, but who is where is also yet to be decided.

“We’re looking forward to two key matches as our pre-season efforts to get ready for the first game at Derby County in the Championshi continue,” Steve Evans told www.themillers.co.uk

“The objective is to ensure that the majority but not all the players involved from the start get 90 minutes and that formula will be applied once again on Tuesday evening at Stocksbridge and Alfreton.

“Both squads are evenly balanced and as much as football is always about results, at this stage I would be delighted if a lot of the players got 90 minutes under their belts and everyone reported to training on Sunday morning unscathed form Saturday afternoon’s events.”
